“…Authors who have looked at those 'ageing in place' have found that return seems a major concern for those migrants. Scholars have explored the factors that push migrants to return after retirement (Rodriguez and Egea 2006), settle permanently in the new society (Ganga 2006), or travel between countries in order 'to maintain cultural, symbolic, concrete and affective ties with both countries' (Bolzman, Fibbi, andVial 2006, 1359).…”

This article focuses on ageing in transnationalism. Drawing on the experiences of Italians in the UK as a paradigmatic example of settled European migrants, it explores the lived experiences of this group of older migrants. Using Levitt and Glick Schiller's framework, it concentrates first on migrants' ways of being and then on their ways of belonging. The article argues that a transnational lens is necessary to understand the experiences of older migrants and that a focus on older people needs to be incorporated into studies of transnationalism. Through a discussion of their narratives and experiences, the article offers a long view on the migration process and brings attention to the significance of gender, time and the life course to understand both migrants' transnationalism and their integration.

“…Two flows of international retirement migration may occur simultaneously soon after retirement. One group are return migrants who left their home country for economic opportunity during their working life and are now returning to their place of birth (Bolzman et al, 2006;Rodríguez & Egea, 2006). The second group consists of amenity seekers whose movement was triggered by retirement and who are seeking a leisure retirement lifestyle (Casado et al, 2004;Rodríguez et.…”

Purpose: Many international retirement migrants are amenity movers undertaking the first move in the late life course model of migration. The purpose of this research is to examine second moves within the retirement destination community to determine whether the model of late life course migration accurately portrays the motivations and housing choices local movers make after retiring to another country.Design/methodology/approach: The paper combination of secondary data and survey results to examine the composition of the retiree migrant population in the Alicante province of Spain.The socioeconomic characteristics and housing choices of those who have made a second move since retiring to Spain are compared with those who have not moved through a series of t-tests and Chi-square tests. Findings:Those who have made a second move within Spain are somewhat typical of second movers in the late life course. They are likely to cite mobility or health problems as a reason for moving and appear to recognize the need for a home that provides living area on one floor. Yet they are choosing to move within an area that does not provide them with access to informal family care givers. Research limitations/implications:The data is restricted to retirees of two nationalities in one province of Spain. Further research is suggested in other locations and with retirees of other nationalities for comparison. Practical implications:Because many international retirees do not plan to return to their countries of origin, they will create demand for formal in-home care services and supportive retiree housing in the near future in their retirement destination countries.2 Originality/value: This paper provides understanding of a growing consumer housing segment in retirement destinations.

“…Furthermore, when a large group of kin (relatives from the home country as well as in-laws) is geographically close, there is logically more interaction with this group (Mulder and Cooke 2009;Schweizer et al 1998). In addition, when the core family is present in the host country, contact with the transnational network is shown to decrease (Rodríguez and Egea 2006). Conversely, migrants who do not dispose of kin relationships in the host country rely more on ethnic networks, which can act as a substitute (Nee and Sanders 2001).…”

“…Furthermore, it has been reported that children increase contact with their family (Bost et al 2002;Fischer and Oliker 1983;Munch et al 1997) as the size of the nuclear family increases through the need for help with caring tasks (Kennedy 2008;Silverstein and Marenco 2001). In addition, parents often want the children to be in touch with their roots (Levrau et al 2014;Rodríguez and Egea 2006).…”
